From my experience with execs and especially politicians, their understanding of "cloud" is very much focused on the data centers / hardware, i.e. a bit of an "early cloud" understanding where the main idea is to 1) improve utilization and 2) turn capex into opex. In practice, "clouds" are more about the hundreds of battle-tested services that are trivial to deploy and easy to integrate. Want a K8s cluster? Sure, we'll give you a control plane for free. A few TB of storage? Here you go. A message queue? Done. Authorization between them? Sure, built-in. These services combined have probably billions of lines of code and have been used for things from the most trivial little fun app with almost no users to systems with massive load. That's what sets them apart and makes them so useful. The hyperscalers have probably invested multiple trillion dollars into their clouds by now, yet it seems the EU keeps believing a EUR 10m bureaucracy project will put them in the same league. And the biggest joke is: certain government projects force you into local providers whose software stack comes from ... Huawei... lol |
